SO...ITS BEEN ALMOST A YEAR...

Will 343 get their -Yoink- together and give us a working multiplayer on launch?

comment below!

The beta worked just fine, so I see no reason for it to screw up at launch.

My assumption would be that 343i learned from their mistakes and will do everything in their power to make this the best MP launch ever. #believe

Harsh thread. I bet they will, they’ve had a beta for it. I’m sure mcc was a mess of code and server issues with crossgaming. On launch don’t jump to blame 343, just about every game has issues from so many players at once accessing the servers for the first time.

I would tend to agree…but MCC looked like it worked fine in those preview videos too…just sayin.

That’s what I’m hoping for!

Yeah but people actually played the beta to test the matchmaking. I have faith they won’t drop the ball this time. Also helps that they haven’t outsourced most of the game to other companies this time…

I think the people who are worried about the game being broken are being a bit silly in my opinion.

Hopefully they’ll overcompensate for the amount of players. Most game servers don’t do that. It won’t be like MCC though, where it doesn’t work till a month later.

+1. I can imagine the importance of this launch running more than smoothly has been highlighted throughout the development of this game especially after the MCC launch. I expect them to get it right this time around. I know 343 know that the MCC was a mess and they will be as determined to not have Halo 5 release in that state.

The only reason mcc had issues is because it wasn’t a single game It was 4 games and on the technical side trying to get it work for multiplayer is a nightmare. Halo 5 is one game so expect it to work with probably smal issues here and there. Every game has issues at launch.

343 developed Halo 5 personally, MCC was developed by 3 or 4 different studios.

MCC was rushed, Halo 5 wont have the same kind of launch.

I’m sure it’ll be fine.

My mcc is still having a ton of issues

Until the full game release, we can only hope, but I think it will be fine on launch.

This will not be like MCC. MCC was doomed as they tried to load four different MP into one game setup that was just never going to work smoothly. Halo 5 will be far better that what we dealt with MCC. The Beta, by the way, was pretty good considering how early it came out.

I think it’s silly to compare the MCC to H5 due to their obvious differences and the unique set of challenges the MCC had to face. Not excusing MCC launch, but I don’t see how it relates to H5.

This^

I feel like most people don’t appreciate how horrific a coding nightmare the MCC was, and how that was compounded by Microsoft’s rushing it out the gate to make the 10th anniversary of Halo 2.

Yes
